Figure 2 Recent Photograph <br />Access to the area will generally be from the road above and will be made to ft the Contractor's <br />needs. The Contractor may create other access to the area, should this be deemed necessary. <br />Warm and burning refuse material will be removed from the embankment using construction <br />equipment. The excavated material can then be extinguished by quenching, cooling or by <br />suffocation. Excavation activities will not adversely affect the embankment stability. <br />The Contractor will ensure that fire will not spread to surrounding vegetation through removal or <br />wetting of the vegetation. <br />Typical construction equipment to be used in the material extraction may consist of a track <br />mounted excavator, a dump truck and a front end loader. Excavator Operators will have a <br />continuous hand held air monitor that will detect carbon monoxide levels. Construction <br />equipment will be located and relocated to avoid operator exposures of more than 50 ppm of <br />carbon monoxide. One Ocenco M-20 will be provided for the excavator operator and will be <br />kept in the cab for emergency use. <br />A water truck with connected fire hose and nozzle will be located upwind of the work area to <br />quench hot material and to provide fire protection. <br />
